“ADTRAN G.fast customers have a unique opportunity to differentiate their services with an intelligent, new software-defined networking capability that meets dynamic customer demand with maximum performance,” said Ronan Kelly, CTO for EMEA and APAC at ADTRAN. “With DTA, configuration symmetry is irrelevant. Operators can deploy responsive broadband for the first time, bursting to the full bandwidth potential of the subscriber connection in either direction. This fibre-like capability takes G.fast performance to a new level, matched only by the advanced optics standards such as NG-PON2 and XGS-PON.”

By deploying the SDN-native SDX portfolio in concert with a cloud platform, such as ADTRAN Mosaic, service providers can realize data center economies and agility in their broadband and business services access networks. Aligned closely with ON.Lab’s CORD initiative, ADTRAN’s SDX network solutions portfolio benefits directly from the expanding community of application developers leveraging the open architecture.

Scalability for a higher education institution is vitally important, as colleges and universities must deal with fluctuating bandwidth needs caused by students, faculty and staff bringing multiple devices with them to campus. Smartphones, tablets, laptops and even gaming consoles can quickly strain network infrastructure and become unwieldy for IT staff to manage. Edward Waters College addressed its campus connectivity issues by installing new Ethernet switches and wireless access points throughout the campus to provide the required coverage for reliable access to the network. ADTRAN’s ProCloud Plus managed service ensures network continuity while also providing alert monitoring, full system management and a 24-hour help desk that users call should an issue arise. The solution eliminates the IT staff's burden of managing the wired and wireless networks, allowing them to focus on the core learning experience.

According to a recent survey of ADTRAN’s ECCL service provider customers, the primary community segments that have adopted these types of services include education, healthcare and the residential market. These service providers have also indicated that the primary driver for deploying Gigabit and other ultrafast services has shifted. In 2014, only 30% of respondents were deploying Gigabit as a driver for economic growth. In 2016, over 60% of respondents cite economic growth as a key driver for deployments. In addition, service providers are finding that once Gigabit is deployed the market for Wi-Fi, smart home devices and services and over the top (OTT) managed services become relevant.
